L.A. residents pessimistic LOS ANGELES (UPI) A growing number of Los Angeles residents are becoming pessimistic life in the area as they strain against gang violence, worsening traffic and the economy, a poll suggested Saturday. a poll by the Los Angles Times, 52 percent of those surveyed said or very well so for them. Three years things were going either fairly well ago the same question prompted 70 percent to say things were going well. Looking at the same issue another way, 43 percent said things were going badly today, compared with only 24 percent in a March 1986 poll.

Further evidence of pessimism was found when people were asked if they think the quality of life has changed for the past 15 better, during onticin the population of Los Angeles County has grown by million. The newspaper, reporting the results of the poll in its Sunday editions, said about 60 percent said life has worsened and only 17 percent said things have gotten better. About half also said they had considered moving away in the past year. Crime was cited as the strongest reason people gave for thinking about leaving, although many said they hoped to stay in Southern California, possibly in San Diego. About 46 percent said they do not feel safe walking in their own neighborhood at night.

Past polls have found that the crime toll is felt most keenly by blacks, a finding reinforced in the latest survey when 95 percent of blacks put crime on their list of most distressing problems, compared with 78 percent for the population at large. After crime, the physical environment was the most criticized aspect of life in Los Angeles County. Traffic congestion, pollution the omnibus issue of "growing population" were cited as serious problems by many people. But as in past years, attitudes varied among ethnic backgrounds. Anglos ranked growing population after crime.

Blacks mentioned traffic more than whites, but were less concerned about the environment and population problems. Instead, they mentioned "the economy" more than anyone else, perhaps because poverty conanon unemployment are more among blacks than among many other minority groups. Hispanics also listed traffic as the most pressing problem after crime, but ranked the size of the population, the environment and the economy about equally in third. The Times poll was conducted between Feb. 11 and Feb.

14 and surveyed 2,046 people by telephone. It is accurate to within 3 percentage points in either direction. Biologists attempting to save rare Condor egg LOS ANGELES (UPI) Biologists took a big step toward ensuring the survival of a condor egg by packing it in a specially insulated box and quickly moving the fragile cargo to an incubator in San Diego, Los Angeles Zoo officials said Tuesday. "The egg may or may not be fertile, there's a 50-50 chance" said Laura LaMarca, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Zoo where the egg, the zoo's first, was laid Monday. "But we're keeping our fingers crossed." LaMarca said scientists will know within 10 days whether the egg is fertile.

The egg was taken by car early Tuesday to the Wild Animal Park in San Diego, which cooperates with Los Angeles Zoo officials in a captive breeding program aimed at increasing the population of the near -extinct species. "Twenty-eight of the rare highflying vultures, native to California, are now part of the project. Fourteen are kept in the Los Angeles part of the program, and the remaining 14 are kept in San Diego, LaMarca said.

(REUTER) Actress Cannon works every phase of film HOLLYWOOD (UPI) Dyan Cannon fired a cinematic broadside by writing, directing, co-producing and starring in "One Point of View." "I've been involved in every phase of the she said, dressed in her working clothes black tights and perched on a stool in an editing laboratory supervising the cutting of her film.

Sometimes she wanted her character to prevail when the director in her felt otherwise. "The director always prevailed," she said. smiling. "'The actress by biologists to save them, a move scorned by environmentalists who argue the birds should be left in their natural habitat. But biologists at both zoos are optimistic that the breeding program will be successful because of the long lifespans of condors, up to 40 years on the average for some birds.

Such long lives provide scientists many years to assist in what they hope will be a condor population explosion. Lamarca said removing the latest egg from its parents should encourage the birds to lay another within the next several weeks. "They only lay one egg at a time, and when you (remove) it, that just makes (the parents) hormonally receptive to laying another one," LaMarca said. She said if the egg is fertile, it should hatch in about 50 days. LaMarca said time is now ripe for the Los Angeles Zoo's breeding pair the Cuyama, female the male, and Cachuma, responsible for the latest egg, to, produce another one soon because all condors are in the midst of peak breeding season.

But Sirhan did admit in the interview to be broadcast Monday on the syndicated television program "Inside Edition" that he felt betrayed by Kennedy's support of Israel. The interview was conducted by David Frost at the Soledad, Correctional Training Facility where Sirhan, 44, is serving a life sentence for the 1968 killing.

Sirhan's account of his motives for the killing and his activities on the day he shot Kennedy are a series of rambling and often confusing statements. In the interview, Sirhan, a Palestinian who was "incensed" over Israel's victory in the 1967 Middle East War, said Kennedy was his hero until the New York senator promised to send jet fighters to "That was a betrayal," Sirhan said. "It was sad for me to accept. All my hopes were Kennedy.
